FALL OF ROME Rome was a city like none other, a superpower unchallenged in its grandeur, unique and unrivaled in its savagery, the magnificent and proud civilization that shaped the rest of the world. For more than five centuries, the Roman Empire was the uncontested and nonpareil leader of the world, her hegemony supreme, and her mighty army invincible. In her glorious days, it was predicted that the Roman Empire was an immortal civilization, the sun would never set on its skies, and its glories would remain untouched by the hands of time. But, all such paeans of praise were just that, mere hollow words without a kernel of truth in them. the Roman Empire was ripped apart, her sons slaughtered, and her honor dragged through the muddy streets. In this book, I attempt to tell the story of a city that fought valiantly to safeguard her honor and glory but was felled by many barbaric hands, looted, and pillaged. It is a tale of a city, its weak Emperor. It is also a tale of a barbarian hegemon who wanted to exact revenge for the multiple betrayals he had to suffer at the hands of a Roman Emperor. The story of the decline of Rome is an extraordinary tale of betrayal, treachery, greed, and chicanery that brought the world's greatest city to its knees. When the barbarians breach all fortifications and run on a rampage along the streets of Rome, will there be a savior? The tale of ancient Roman Empire, the city that now dwells only in the realms of one's imagination, a fabled city of magnificence and grandeur, of cruelty and barbarianism, of blind faith and admiration in an Emperor to betraying bodyguards, the city that began as a small settlement near the banks of the river Tiber and rose to exalted heights of being one of the biggest empires in antiquity and the sudden demise, is nothing short of a legend. Rome survived as a Republic for almost five centuries before expanding under the reign of the celebrated Roman ruler Julius
